Agree.

Especially when it is raining it adds 10 minutes to getting in and out of the ground.
Not good for the kids getting soaked (or me of course).

That seems common sense to me. I have always thought that the Canton was the more natural end for the family stand as it is closer to the car park and all entrances.

The family stand is bare as it is without moving to a larger section of the ground.

Put them in one half of the lower grandstand. Like the old ninian park.

If I remember rightly the family stand was once situated in one of the lower enclosures under the main Grandstand. It was then moved to the Canton.
